Nursery priced very cheap. Excluding...

I've spent the evening pricing my dd's nursery. I've seen a lot of you ladies spending thousands on your nursery and I simply just can't fork that out. Baby girls entire nursery including crib is going to be right at $500.00 and its going to look fabulous! I will post pictures soon! Ive written down item numbers of everything i need to complete it. It should be complete by my ikea trip in two weeks. I cannot wait this is finally getting SO real! My question is where can I find an inexpensive rocker? I'm not too into the gliders, I just don't like the way they look. Dh is bound and determined to "surprise" me with a rocker/glider of some sort. I didn't have one with dd, but if he insist I do not want him spending a ton as I've been working hard keeping the nursery fairly inexpensive. Any advice?

We ended up getting a Carter's crib from Walmart for 159.00 dh didn't like any ikea cribs. But everything else is ikea. I found a blog a woman did for her nursery in the same colors I am doing and it looked awesome using ikea stuff. I can't wait until it is finished. I haven't looked at ikeas rockers. Idk why I didn't think to check for them there. I guess I will now.

Our nursery isnt expensive either. It might hit $1000. Our bedding set and pack and play was 130. Changing table and crib was $190. Dresser $170 which inlaws ended up paying for. Then our travel system, high chair, and matching diaper bag were about $300 together. Not too bad. We just do it little by little and hit up craigslist. Most of those items were new though

Well this is just nursery. My travel system my sister is buying as a gift. That price didn't include high chair or pack n play. My mom is going to give us a "bigger gift" also not sure though, she just said she wanted to buy a more expensive item.

I got my rocker used. It was my best friends moms rocker from her 3 kids. My dad just refinished it and I made cushions for it. Rocker was free and the cushions cost like $30 (but were a giant pain to make).

We spent $1000 for the glider and ottoman, we also plan to move this to the family room when the LO grows into her big girl bed. DH is a big guy so we had to find a rocker that was comfy for him. Dresser/changing table was free, it was my childhood furniture. MIL bought us the crib and mattress. My mom bougt the fabric and made the curtains. The accessories are things from around the house, my childhood dolls and books.

We have only spent $400 on the nursery, and that includes the crib, changing table/dresser combo, crib mattress, and skip hop bedding. I wasn't planning on getting a traditional crib set since I think they are a waste of $ (we don't use the quilt or bumper) but this one came with the adorable 'complete sheet' that has designs on the sides to give the look of a bumper, the crib skirt, and actual warm, funtional baby blanket, and wall decals. All for only $100. In addition to that, we got an extra sheet, matching changing table cover, and matress pad.

Pretty good I think, for buying all new :) We need more baskets/storage but I think it will be under $500 total.
